Team News

Salford City
Grimsby
  • Gary Bowyer went to a solid 4-4-2 for his first game in charge, after his predecessor favoured expansive 4-2-3-1 and 3-4-2-1 setups.
  • It's unclear whether a double-pivot of Jason Lowe and Oscar Threlkeld will move the ball quickly and efficiently enough to break down deep-block opposition.
  • Darron Gibson is out for the long haul with a broken leg.
  • Danny Rose could come in for Jay Matete, who was forced off in the first half against Walsall.
  • Paul Hurst could switch from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 with Lenell John-Lewis partnering James Hanson up top.

Prediction

  • Salford City did not get the start they wanted to Gary Bowyer's tenure as manager, losing 1-0 at Exeter; Bowyer took some heart from the way his side began that game and the performance from front-man Ian Henderson, with their opponents scoring from their only shot on target.
  • Grimsby Town are on a six-game unbeaten run which they needed to give themselves a chance of preserving their EFL status, because even now they are still six points off safety, but five of those matches have been draws.
  • The Mariners are improving and could produce League Two's surprise result on Good Friday.
